Re: PU 8/4
Quote:
Was riding shotgun on Rory's PU for many miles in Normandy, wonderful vehicles they are. BTW, we visited a French vehicle collector near Caen who recently acquired a PU which had been in French military use after WW2. No doubt Rory will fill you in on the details soon. Interestingly, it has had a Class I rebuild in 1945, and the owner found the chassis, axles etc. had been totally repainted in a blue-grey colour. Can anyone explain that colour? Ex-RN truck, just a colour that happened to be in stock, on demand of the new owner? H. |

PU report
Hanno ,
I have read that that large collection in Belguim was purchased by a wealthy Amercian , he shipped it all over the Atlantic pond in two ships . I wonder what the yanks make of it all . " Morris Commercial ? , Oh yeah , that 's that old TV advert for cigarettes ". Phillip Morris was the company , tobacco giants . The Humber Hexonaught must have them in a spin . The Brits invented the agri 6 wheeler 40 years before anyone else . You have been riding in the PU ! I wanted to come over but Richard would not send me the air fare . He won't speak to me now . And , I have located another No. 1 set antenna base for Rory . But , a swap may be arranged , for something rare , like a PU battery terminal , a WW2 one of course , dug up in a French field , left behind by the BEF . Another PU , a French one . My PU was nearly burnt to ashes by a bushfire here two months ago . Mike |

Gentlemen (and ladies), no better time may be had at no better show in southern England. I would urge you to attend if you can, and surely, at some point, I will see you there again.
